I visited with the son of this true American Hero yesterday and the PGR has been
requested to participate....
Aviation Radioman 1st Class Arthur Carl Miller was shot down on September
13, 1944 during the Battle of Paplau Islands. AR1 Miller served his country
for 6 years and was credited with 30 bombing runs and 50 'hops'. He had been
listed as MIA until modern day forensics identified his remains to his
family mid-2009.
This true American Hero is coming home from Hawaii, to his
final resting place in Poughkeepsie, NY on November 7, 2009.
The PGR, along with Rolling Thunder and the VFW, have been invited by AR1 Miller's son
Arthur, to join the LEO escorted funeral at the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery,
with Military Honor Guard.
Staging is as follows:
Saturday, November 7, 2009

Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |

After all these years you're back home AR1 Arthur Carl Miller, USN, MIA WWII.
You were
never forgotten by your loved ones or a grateful nation. Welcome home.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Arthur.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
